The Secret Bay

by Kimberly Ridley

Estuaries form where river meets sea and fresh water mixes with salt. Teeming with life, they are nursery areas for fish, migratory stopovers for shorebirds, and home to snails, bivalves, fish, mammals, horseshoe crabs, fiddler and blue crabs, terrapin turtles, plankton, and many other creatures, all of whom we meet in the pages of this delightful picture book with poetic main text augmented by natural-history sidebars.
